'FASTENER.

Application filed November 25, 1927. Serial No. 235,599.'

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in fasteners and more particu.- larly to a fastener which is especially adapted for use in connection with neckties. '()ne of the objects of my invention is the provision of a device of the above character wherein a neclitie can bc quickly arrange'din position and securely held against displacement. i

Another obje :t of the invention is the provision of a. fastener of the above character Vshowing the use of my invention, y

Figure 2 is a rear elevation of a tie showing the application of my device. v

Figure 3 is a side elevation of the device itself.

Figure 4 is a top plan view.

Figure 5 isa cross section on the line 5-5 of Figure 3, and

Figure 6 is a detail side elevation showing how the elastic is engaged with the collar button.

vIn carrying out my invention, it will be noted that in the accompanying` drawings I have illustrated a type of four-in-hand tie, as indicated at l to which my improved yfastener is applied. The fastener itself is made Y of any size wire suitable for the purpose and is bent to form the particular type of fastener desired. In` the presentinstaiice the fastener includes the longitudinal body partZ having lateral wings 3 and 4 extending from one end thereof upon opposite sides of the body, said wings being slightly curved as shown in Figure 4. v

The end of the body opposite the wings is provided with the apposed loops 5 and 6, arranged upon opposite sides of the central portion of the body part 2. The body 2 which is formed of several strands of the wire of` which the device is constructed and these strands are securely held in place Vby ceiling attached to rear side of a four-in-hand tie, as shown in Figure 2 andthis can then be lined inposition on a collar and secured in place by means of an elastic loop 8, the ends` of which are secured in place beneath the wire 7, as shown in Figure 3. lWhen the tie has been placed in its proper position relative the collar, as'sliown in Figure 8, the loop 8 is brought upwardly over the cross piece 9, which connects the loops 5 and G and is then engaged over the collar button lO, as illustrated in Figure G.

It will be apparent from the above that I have provided a simple and inexpensivedevice of the character Aset forth, which is very eliicient for the purpose intended. In use the fastener is attachedto the rear face of the tie in any mann-'er desired and when placing the tie in position the wings 3 and 4 are positioned between the lfoldscf the collar andl the bow or tied part of the tie positioned be# [tween the ends ofthe outer fold as shown in Figure l. After the wings 3' and I are properly positioned the loop 8 is then drawn upwardly and engaged over the head of the button l0, which holds the ends of the collar in place. From this it will be noted that the tie will be securely held in its proper position, relative the collar and can be quickly and easilyV placed in position or removed.

lVhile I have described and illustrated the j vpreferred*embodiment oi' my invention, it

will be apparent that various changes and alterations may be ca xried out without departing from the spirit of the 'invention or the scope of the appended claims.

`I claim as, my invention 1. In a device of the class described and in combination, an elongatedV body part, yieldable curved wings ext-ending from opposite sides ofthe body at one end, apposed loops at the other end, and an elast-ic strip having` its ends ext-ended through the loop and secured to the body, am,L its intermediate portion forming a loop for engagement with a supportingl element. Y

2. In a device of the class described andin combination an elongated body part, yieldable curved wings extending rfrom opposite sides of the body at one end, apposed loopsy at the other end, and a yicldable retaiiiing element engaged withvt-he loops.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 21st. day of November, A. D.
